Wall Clock 1 Louis XVI Causard Duroy

This elegant Cartel clock showcases exquisite craftsmanship in original fire-gilt bronze. The large white enamel dial, adorned with Roman and Arabic numerals, bears the signature of CAUSARD DUROY, a prominent 18th-century French clockmaker.
The dial is surmounted by a draped classical urn, flanked by columns crowned with goat's heads and draped lion's skins. A dramatic lion's head mask graces the base of the dial. The tapered clock case culminates in a decorative pomegranate finish, a characteristic design attributed to the renowned French ébéniste, Robert Osmond.
This piece exemplifies the pinnacle of Louis XVI style, combining refined aesthetics with exceptional horological artistry.
